Witchlets

White Light / Witch Guilt*

To the tune of "White Light / White Heat"
by the Velvet Underground (live version on 1969)

Rewrite by Screaming Ssnake Womoon and MoodRing Coven

(Backing Vocals) ... ... ...(Lead Vocals)

White Light ... ... ... It's the Sabbat, but I'm too tired
Witchlets ... ... ... (Our) Priestess is sick, I'm not inspired
Witch Guilt ... ... ... We're depressed, yeah we got the flu
White Light ... ... ... People are coughing, don't know what to do

White Light ... ... ... Well we're skyclad but it's way too cold
Witchlets ... ... ... Candles blew out and we have no woad
Witch Guilt ... ... ... But it's the Sabbat - we had to do SOMETHING
White Light ... ... ... Uh... light that fire and we'll run in a ring (Work it!)

(Chorus)

OOOOOOOH White Light ... ... ... oh, she sure is funky...
OOOOOOOH Witchlets ... ... ... watch that witchlet, watch that witchlet, gonna cast a circle every chance you get
OOOOOOOH Witch Guilt ... ... ...
OOOOOOOH White Light ... ... ...

White Light ... ... ... Powers of the East are you home?
Witchlets ... ... ... Tell these Mosquitos to leave us alone!
Witch Guilt ... ... ... Powers of the South, are you there?
White Light ... ... ... Oh Shit! Get that candle away from my hair!

White Light ... ... ... Powers of the West, please stop this rain
Witchlets... ... ... We're all shivering, and I'm in pain
Witch Guilt... ... ... Powers of the North, help us endure
White Light... ... ... 'Til one of us can find a cure for--

(Confusing variation on Chorus)

OOOOOOOOOOH Witch Guilt ... ... ... oh, blessed be...
OOOOOOOOOOH Witchlets ... ... ... raise that power, raise that power, gonna keep chanting for another hour
OOOOOOOOOOH Witch Guilt ... ... ...
OOOOOOOOOOH Witchlets ... ... ...

(extremely long and somewhat annoying guitar solo)

White Light ... ... ... (Oh) Goddess, why do You put up with us?
Witchlets ... ... ... We lost our scripts, dropped the book in the mud
Witch Guilt ... ... ... We're about to die, we're going back inside
White Light... ... ... Gods have mercy, we're gonna run and hide

White Light... ... ... We're too screwed up to dismiss the circle...
Witchlets ... ... ...
Witch Guilt ... ... ...
White Light ... ... ...

OOOOOOOOOOH etc...

(vocalists begin to wander offstage after "too screwed up to dismiss the circle." Guitarists finish up with more scary solos until they and/or the audience/circle/grove/coven get bored and wander off as well.)

*aka "Witch Guilt" (the short, publishable, not quite as mean version, that is). Not to be confused with its mutated sibling "The Witchlet Song (community critique / NegativeWomon version)" which got much more scathing as time passed. Also not to be confused with the Newage version: "White Light / Hard Cash" (where "charge it" has a completely different meaning), or with the Politico version: "White Guilt / Action Now! (You Escapist Pigs!)"
